High-Protein Honey Garlic Shrimp

A flavorful and easy high-protein dish featuring succulent shrimp glazed in a sweet and tangy honey garlic sauce.

Ingredients

  • Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
  • Honey (¼ cup)
  • Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Red pepper flakes (1 teaspoon, optional)
  • Green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover and let it chill in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to create a non-stick surface.
  3. Sizzle the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink.
  4. Flip the shrimp over and pour any remaining marinade over them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.
  5. Finishing touch: Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider drizzling a bit more honey over the top or serving with a wedge of lemon.
